He was an incredible husband, father, brother, son, friend, and pilot. "Guns" was an F-16 Fighter Pilot/Weapons Officer at McEntire Air National Guard Base and passed away suddenly in July of 2020. Several of his friends and wife came together and founded GGMF. The Guns Garin Memorial Foundation has two missions. First, we are here to support local military families during times of hardship. Second, the foundation exists to help educate and encourage youth to explore a career in aviation. This organization was founded to honor his life and to inspire other young aspiring pilots to follow in his footsteps. The members of our board see the importance of preserving his memory through the efforts of the Foundation. --- *Join in at E3 Aviation Association: https://bit.ly/E3Aviation *Support the Channel Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theafterburnpodcast *Shop Merch https://bit.ly/ShopAfterburnPodcast Launch Your Aviation Career with BogiDope :https://bit.ly/BogiDope 5% OFF with code "Afterburn" Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ZIZ9XRlcsdQ ------------- Contact Me Email: https://bit.ly/contactTAP Website: https://bit.ly/AfterburnWebsite --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-afterburn-podcast/message Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-afterburn-podcast8255/exclusive-content Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-afterburn-podcast/exclusive-content Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
